His value to the team, he showed up on Sunday not only with his hits (41. Minute/59.). Also the emotional Bundesliga debut of Mamadou Doucouré Thuram was the one who caused a spine-tingling moments.
“It does not surprise me at all that he is the one who goes ahead of us, because it is just a really good Kid,” said Borussia Coach Marco Rose on their top scorer. The Scion of the former French world champion Lilian Thuram came in front of the season from Guingamp and shot himself straight into the hearts of the Fans. With ten season goals and eight assists, the attacker has a large share of re in European competition, mönchengladbach, since Sunday is practically no longer in doubt.

Still, I see in him to still see development potential. He wants to be a European Top striker,” said Rose. That Thuram has what it takes is for Rose to be quite uncontroversial: “I don’t trust him very much because he has great potential.”
